Coleus (Solenostemon scutellarioides 'Wizard Pineapple') - Description
Fantastic Chartuese leaves with intricate, mosaic, dark green veining on the whole leaf. It gives the appearance of reptile skin...especially an alligator or crocodile. Compact and tightly leaved form, makes this varietal great for containers or for some whimsy in the garden border. Extravagant when planted in large groups for some unreal swaths of color. We have seen some labeled Coleus 'Wizard Pineapple' plants with some red veining all the way to red dominant leaves. We do not think that is a correct version of Wizard Pineapple.
